| 1st September - The Monkfield Arms,
Cambourne |
|
| On
Monday morning I received a phone call from Helen, an Australian lady
who said she would like to join us on the ride. On Tuesday morning I called her back and she said her husband would also come along. They had to hire bikes and in the event they couldn't make it to the start on time. I suggested they come to my place where we were having coffee. Clive and George arrived at about 10.30am and Helen & Ed arrived just before 11.00am. Soon after 11.00 we all set out for Cambourne, taking a route via Caldecote, Bourn and Caxton. We all met up at The Monkfield Arms for lunch where we were joined by Vic. We had a very enjoyable lunch with much discussion. |
After lunch the group returned to Cambridge via Monkfield Drive to Bourn, Toft, Comberton, Barton and Newnham. Peter Rowell. |
